Most areas of Pike County received between 4.5 to 5 inches of rain over the past 48 hours, resulting in localized flooding. The rain has now ended and waters are receding though creeks and ponds are overflowing.

Many have remarked today the runoff is the greatest they have seen since the great flood of 1994.

Miss Amber Funderburk, daughter of Shannon and Andrea Funderburk of Williamson, has been selected as a finalist for Georgia’s 29th Annual Homecoming Queen Selection to be held March 28 & 29, 2009 at the Holiday Inn Select Atlanta Airport South in Atlanta, Georgia.

You could go on with your desires, for there is many more to see and have.
